Theming help notification pulldown - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Hi can any one tell me what images to edit to change the images or color on the pic numbered 1,2,3 attached thanks. Im running stock 4.0.4 xwlpt

I'm not sure if XWLPT 4.0.4 uses the same layout as XWLPG 4.0.3 but if it does:
1. SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\tw_quicksetting_divider.png
2. SystemUI.apk\res\values\drawables.xml
3. SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\tw_btn_default_small_normal.9.png
For 2, the values are:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color_pressed">

Thanks very much i will check it out.

You might also need to look at SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\tw_quickpanel_bg.png

On XWLPG it's a combination.
The layout is in SystemUI.apk\res\tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and tw_btn_default_small is the background image for the clear button.

Ok so i have tryed to decompile the systemui.apk with no look. All i would like to do is remove the clear button images so the the clear button when inactive the text is grey as default but the button image is gone and when the clear button is active the clear text white as default but no button image.
I have attached a unmodified systemUI.apk if you could try to do it for me that would be great thanks.

I don't mind guiding you but I'm not doing it for you!
You'll need to learn how to decompile SystemUI.apk (I use Wanam's Apk Manager ICS)
The clear button is laid out in SystemUI.apk\res\layout\tw_status_bar_expanded.xml with a single text colour hard-coded in. The background images are set in SystemUI.apk\res\drawable\tw_btn_default_small.xml
I'd say you'd need to remove the hard coded colour from tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and add the text colour for the different states of the button to tw_btn_default_small.xml whilst also removing the background images from the same lines of code.

[Request] Change Gummynex softkey background color

I'm currently on Gummy 1.2.2 for the toro and I've been going crazy trying to modify the background color of the softkeys. Not the glow effect, not the keys themeselves, but the actual bar they rest on. I'd like to make it white but if someone could just help me figure out how to change it to begin with it'd be greatly appreciated. I've decompiled the systemui apk and tried editing several xml's but got nowhere with it. It's driving me crazy trying to figure it out. Any help would be awesome. I've searched through the forums and had no luck thus far.
1.2.2

Its all in layout folder the 3 nav xmls are what your going to want to edit and it'd be the first line of each XML when you open it and if you wanna change the nav bg with images I can post the XML so you can see yourself to see what you would need to change

What are you using to decompile ? and there you go, compare my xmls with yours to do the edits i threw in the tracking xml also and thats how you go about having a custom pulldown bg,
1 pulldown back should be about 480x733 gives you a perfect image in portrait and landscape, and you take your image and name it pulldown_bg.png and save in gimp for example
2 navbar backgrounds = navbar01 =400x50, navbar02=50x400 save as png format
3. all three of those images put them in the drawable-xhdpi in sytemui
4. easy to do you should be able to do it on your own let me know if you have any troubles

I'm using an apk manager developed for Mac. I've used it to decompile, theme, and build multiple apk's from my rom. It works pretty awesome. Lol. I use that to decompile and then I use xml edit to change the xmls. I don't have a PC to run the regular apk tool on so I'm unsure if that's where my issue is.

Seems simple enough. I just edited a ton of apps throughout my rom and blacked everything out. Very minimal color with an emphasis on black and white and I think the white nav and Status bars will help keep the contrast along the theme flowing. I can't wait to get home and try it out. Thanks again for the help.
Edit... well it was a no go for me. Cannot figure this out. Here's the xml's that I'm starting with.

Do you need to be on a custom ROM to be able to do this? Or will stock root work? Also did you replace your navbar background with an image or just changed the color? I am trying to do this but systemui crashes. Any help would be appreciated.

U have to decompile systemui.apk .. its a .9 image therefore to edit it u need to edit in its decompiled state and only edit the color itself.. u cannot touch the black pixel boarder because that black patch is what tells the image how to stretch when phone is in portrait or landscape mode.. the image is called status bar close on.9 or something in the drawable xhdpi folder.. I will look into it but I'm not on jellybean yet

Ok I already had a decompiled jb systemui and framework res folder on my desktop and I looked and by the name youre giving it a pretty good size transparent square with a 66x66 block in the middle.
I looked through framework and I found status bar background files one of which is 7x1365 so if it was tailed across the screen would be about the right size. making transparent is no problem at all. getting the apk built after the fact might be trouble since apktool is being a flaming piece of **** the last few days.
I will try

[Q] Change images in a Cm10 Theme?

How do I change images out of themes for cm10? Like lets say I want a black pulldown bar or black settings background how would I do this? I tried opening up the png in photoshop and making it black, saving it as the same exact name and put it back in the .apk but when I try to install it doesn't work. Would appreciate any help, Thanks.

How would I do that?
You would need to decompile it first, the pulldown background is a .9.png so you would have to make whatever is inside the .9 border, if you screw up the border by the slightest it wont compile correctly. So i would suggest you keep you work area selected within the border. Then once you've made the corrections recompile and sign the apk. Otherwise it wont install.
You'll have to google how to decompile and signing apk's.. its relatively easy.

Need help finding these 2 png's

I am in the process of making a simple Holo Blue Stock Theme, but I have hit a brick wall:silly:
The first screenshot below shows what i have achieved so far.
The second screenshot helps to explain the brick wall so to speak
I am trying to find the location of the 2 png files numbered in the second screenshot
I have searched till i have square eyes, but i just cannot find the 2 png's
I have found the "clear" button in systemui/res/drawable-hdpi
If anybody can tell me the name and location of the "ongoing" and "notification" background png's it would greatly appreciated.
I am on Alliance v7.02 Stock Theme (XWLSD)

Inverted T-Mobile Deodexed MI7 TouchWiz Apks

Inverted TouchWiz Apks For T-Mobile Stock Deodexed MI7
I thought I'd make these fully inverted stock themed apks (somewhat stock themed anyway)
for those that would prefer not to use a theme, but would like to use their dark counterparts.​
Warning!
These are just stock deodexed MI7 apks with no additional mods included.
If your current apks are modded in anyway, those mods will need to be re-added to these apks.
How to
Download zip to your phone
Reboot into custom recovery
Make a backup or at least back up the apks that will be replaced.
Flash zip
Reboot
SecContacts and SecPhone apks

FlashBarService apk (Multi Window)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/note3900t/files/Mods/Inverted_Stock_FlashBarService_MI7.zip/download
I won't have a problem sharing these, but if you would like to include them in your rom or use them as a base for a theme, please ask first.
There were hundreds of xmls edited to achieve this and not to mention digging for the smali files that also needed to be changed. I just ask for some courtesy.
Thanks and enjoy!
Oh and don't forget to smash that thanks button
Just in case.

Are you running a odexed rom? These were meant for deodexed stock. You're going to have delete the odex file for the mms in the system/app folder of your phone.
If you also flashed the contacts and phone zip, then you're going to have to delete the odex files for the SecContacts and SecPhone too.

A trick to get the navbar mod to look better with some of the apks is to make the size of it smaller in the dimes.xml of the framework-res.apk.

It's not that the Nav Bar is too big - But the dialer keypad & the most recent call in the logs gets cut off..
If you like - I can post a pic of the dialer that I'm currently using? It fits, as does the last call logs - It's just the color that I'd like to be black and white.... Let me know. ?

While this is not the inverted/international-ed version, just for reference this is what @foreverloco was referring to as the workaround of sorts regarding the dialer. Yes things are still cut off, but the bottom dialer buttons are there enough to be usable anyway. Darn TW non-adjusting dialer/camera...

Did you edit the build.prop to add the additional soft keys to the Nav Bar (I'm guessing Yes) - Would you mind sharing what the edit was (I'm interested in adding the Menu to the Right side of the Nav Bar.

Yeah I don't know why they didn't allow for the resizing... it's rather annoying (nice dialer btw).
The screenshot there is the result of a bit of work actually - I set it up so that you don't need to change the build.prop to get the navkeys to show at all (can turn them on/off via checkbox/powermenu), and then smali-hacked things to force all 4 buttons to show (and to eliminate the overflow menu button bit that showed in places like SecSettings and SecContacts). I also didn't really follow the navbar guide that's posted exactly - I just added in the missing images (pulled from a CM11 build) and edited the SystemUI /res/drawable xmls to point to those images... the layout xml I didn't change at all.
Sorry for the off-topic stuff
